Know Thy Enemy - Gun Control

This is a discussion on Know Thy Enemy - Gun Control within the Politics / Conspiracy forums, part of the The Lounge category! Interesting website dedicated to informing you of Obama's history on guns control. There's just no telling what he'll be capable ...

I'm guilty of chastising people who are hung up on their little social issues and don't/won't take the "what's best for the country" into consideration. I guess Gun Control could be considered one of those social issues if it weren't for the Second Amendment.

I'd have to say that getting the country back on track is even more important than gun control. Fortunately, IMO getting the right guy into office gets rid of the gun control problem so it's a win/win from my point of view. Unless Romney has something up his sleeve. But I believe Romney is much more of a Constitutionalist and won't "executive order" or "Fast & Furious" it. Have to wait and see.

I'm unfamiliar with the topic now, but since the assault weapons ban expired, I think it's almost all but too late for them to do anything.

It depends on if they can create a situation that everyone get up in arms about and gives them the backing to pass something. Fast & Furious was one of the situations that fortunately back fired on them. Unfortunately, innocent people had to die (which means nothing to them in order to further their cause) in this false flag event. I don't know if he can do it or not but Obama is real fond of those Executive Orders.

"Naysayers simply state that the UN Arms Trade Treaty has more to do with controlling the flow of guns into rogue, third-world nations, than restricting the 2nd Amendment. However, that doesn’t appear to be the language in the last draft. The New American writes:

Section III, Paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Programme of Action mandate that if a member state cannot get rid of privately-owned small arms legislatively, then the control of “customs, police, intelligence, and arms control” will be placed under the power of a board of UN bureaucrats operating out of the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs.

Obviously, the Obama administration is just itching to pass this monstrosity through the UN. Once that happens, the UN itself says that they are mandated to take control of ‘customs, police, intelligence, and arms control’. Who do you think will not comply with this treaty in any form? The states and the citizenry."
